Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 box Betty Crocker German Chocolate Cake mix Use as base for brownies
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk (for the batter)
  • 2/3 cup margarine, melted and cooled Substitute with unsalted butter for richer flavor
Caramel Layer
  • 1.5 cups chocolate chips, milk or semi-sweet
  • 1 bag Kraft caramels, unwrapped 10–14 oz
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk (for melting the caramels)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cake mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and 2/3 cup melted margarine until you have a thick, uniform batter.
  3. Press half the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Put the remaining batter in the fridge to chill.
Baking
  1. Bake the pan for 6 minutes to slightly set the bottom layer.
  2. While it bakes, place the unwrapped caramels and remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until smooth and pourable.
  3. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the partially baked layer. Drizzle the warm caramel over the chips.
  4. Remove the chilled batter, pinch off tablespoon-sized pieces, and spread them over the caramel to cover it as best you can. The top will be rustic.
  5. Return the pan to the oven and bake for about 16 minutes, until the top is set and edges pull slightly away from the pan.
Cooling
  1. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. For cleaner slices, refrigerate the pan until firm before cutting.
